the traction control works through the rear abs sensors. All it is a special transducer ring(i think thats what its called) that is mounted on the axle, usually pressed on, right next to the brake rotor. Then there is one ABS sensor mounted on each side that picks up the ring as it spins, the ring is almost like a cog, it has notches/teeth that the sensor can pick up. There are only those 2 sensors, one per side. They serve for abs and tcs. So all that really needs to be done is get the special axles with the GM rings on them for a 9", and then just mount the sensor some where on the backing plate/ axle retainer plate. People have told me TCS runs off a third sensor that mounts on the housing by the carrier section, but that is not true at all. I swapped my rear out about a year ago so i know exactly how it is. I have a ser of stock axles i may be able to remove the abs rings from, and then i also have the LS1 caliper mounting brackets to modify as well. I think( i may be wrong) the reason the 9" is not that easy to do it with is that the axles are held in by plates on the end of the axle tubes not by clips in the carrier like the GM 10 and 12 bolt, therefore the rings are a little harder to mount since they get in the way of getting the retainer plate to fit, but if it has been done, i'm sure there are special replacement axles available. Also with a rear through TTP, they only go as low as 3:50 gears. When i have my car done, i need 2 complete 3rd members(easily swapped) and one will have 4:11s and the other will have 2:50s(top speed) and those low gears are for the '06 silver state classic in Utah, where i'll be trying to break 200mph, and yes i am being serious.
